idk if you're just memeing but there were actually people like this in the early united states, they were so racist they wanted to abolish slavery so they could deport all non-white people.
i think it's cuz it is one of the few cities on the west coast where you can still get by on a basic service industry wage; it still has a radical working class
Portland is so fascinating. It's a city of hyper liberals, and full on praxis.
It’s cause we are surrounded on all sides by white Supremacists and reactionaries
Not fun fact: Oregon was originally founded as a state where it was literally illegal to be black and exist in the state.
When you're so racist you ban slavery
Horse shoe theory, the one true theory.

I was a lib in Portland, their DSA is extremely active and aggressive. The one meeting I ended up going to is what finally radicalized me.

Really? That's really fascinating. I was expecting it to be like Austin and super expensive.
It’s quite expensive, comparable to Seattle. Not sure what this comment is talking about.
having lived in many west coast metro areas, portland is still very affordable in comparison
Unless things have changed dramatically in the past few years Portland is significantly cheaper to live in than Seattle.

That's why you fucking Californians keep moving here
It's expensive because they keep moving there.

portland has a history of deep rooted community groups building solidarity with each other, something a lot of other cities are missing
